Unicorn family
The unicorn family tempers out the unicorn comma, 1594323/1562500 = [-2 13 -8⟩. The canonical extension to the 7-limit is by interpreting the generator as a slightly flattened ~28/27 so that a flat ~6/5 is found at 5 generators, corresponding to tempering 126/125, the octaphore and the hemimage comma.
Unicorn
By noticing that the generator is very close to 28/27 we find the extension to the 7-limit by tempering the octaphore (which finds ~9/7 at 7 gens and ~4/3 at 8 gens, hence its name) and 126/125 (finding ~6/5 at 5 gens). From this we can observe that the most natural extension is by equating adjacent superparticular intervals, by tempering the square-particulars between them, leading to its S-expression-based comma list of {S26, S27, S28, S29}, to which experimentation shows we can find a reasonable mapping for prime 43 at -11 gens while all other primes require either quite complex mappings (being significantly positive rather than negative) or require high error or both.

2.3.5.7.13.29.43 subgroup
A notable tuning of unicorn not appearing in the optimal ET sequence here is 96edo using the 96d val (meaning accepting 16edo's ~7/4 of 975 ¢), which serves as a nice alternative to 77edo that sacrifices the accuracy of prime 7 in favour of more accurate other primes usually not found accurately in good rank 1 unicorn tunings.
